Hey guys,
I asked in the apps section about bluex. that I tried to use it to transfer files from my phone to a samsung behold and they told me to type this in the terminal:
mv /data/app/bluetoothFileshare.apk /data/app-private/
but when i did It says:
failed on '/data/app/bluetoothFileshare.apk' - No such file or directory
__________________
mv /data/app/com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk /data/app-private
this is case sensitive
enjoy
same thing
samething happened...
failed on '/data/app/com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk' - No such file or directory
does it matter that I have cyanogen v3.5.2 and my apps are on my sdcard?
isnt bluex automatically in the app-private folder?
so....
Is there something I have to do to get it to work with the samsung behold? Or does it just not work with that phone?
the behold would have to be rooted to receive files...i dont know if it works for just sending files
as far as i am aware the behold isnt even android powered so i dont know how you would expect it to work (in which case negate my last statement)
try this on the g1
cd /data/app/
ls (this will list all the files in that directory)
look for anything relating to bluetooth
mv /data/app/*filename.apk*/data/app-private/
hopefully with apps2sd it will all work out with the sym links
personally i dont use apps2sd so this could be the root of your troubles
instead of this code you could try a "root file browser"
and then im sure you would be able to cut and paste from one folder to another
out of curiosity, did u get bluex from a 3rd party source or the market? if it was the market i doubt there would be any problem (but where is the fun in that?)
good luck
oh, one little note...
if in the unlikely event something screws up n u need to reflash or anything else along those lines, please dont blame me
(im sure you wouldnt anyway, but just incase)
Gonna put my two cents in on this btw.
I'm trying to "pirate" this app (install it after getting a refund from the market. If I give up or succeed in "pirating the app", I'm going to rebuy it), for the sole reason I enjoy a challenge.
I believe that the app is infact not looking for whether a copy is in the app-private folder, but in the app folder.
Let me explain;
You install bluex from the market, it goes to app-private.
you give the application root permissions, and it checks to see whether there is a copy of it in the app folder. No copy, runs fine.
You install the app from an outside source. The install goes to the app folder. You copy the .apk to the app-private folder. The application looks for a copy of itself in the app folder, and OH NOES! it's there, and blocks all access to itself.
Is there anyway to adb an install to the app-private folder?
also, if the app locks itself, uninstall it, then *reinstall,* otherwise, even if you manage to succeed in installing the application and circumventing the security protection, you'll still be locked out of the application.
Bluex solution
this is how i did it - avoiding having to manually do anything
download version 1.1.2 here
rename it to com.alex.BluetoothFileshare.apk (case sensitive)
then stick it on your SD
then download SUFB (super user file browser) here
install this via watever method you normally do (personally i use ESTRONGS File Browser - free from the market)
open SUFB and navigate to /sdcard, find bluex and long press it and select copy and then navigate back to /data/app-private
press menu and select "mount /data RW" then paste bluex into app-private
press menu and select "mount /data R" to stop you screwing anything up by accident
reboot (not necessarily compulsory but it didnt work for me without it even tho bluex did appear in the dash thingie)
after reboot open bluex, enable bluetooth, enable server and enjoy
hope this helps
(the first time i did do this all in the terminal but was too lazy to type it after a couple of reflashes)
what i did find strange was that when doing a straight "mv ....." it worked without remounting RW but when using the file browser it wouldnt work without the remount
enjoy
i do encourage anyone who tries this to buy the app - i too did it for the challenge and then bought it (after my last reflash) (i was paranoid that after a reflash that i had schedualed that i would have to pay for it again). it is a great app and the developer deserves the £1.50
sorry, the links have been removed (for obvious reasons). google for droid appz and you will find a great site with some tips, tricks and appz
what phones does it work with?
does bluex only work with other g1's and android phones? or can you fileshare with blackberry's, iphones, etc.
iv not sent or received from any other phones (im in thailand now and none of my friends have bluetooth, poor them....) but it works great with my computer and the piece of crap dongle in both directions
so i dont see why it wouldnt work with other phones...its just and implimentation of the OBEX standard that is used for both infrared and bluetooth OBject EXchange
enjoy

well I've tried with my friend and girlfriends behold and it will pair but not connect to it. and I'm the only one of my friends that have a g1, they're all iphone junkies :thumbsdown:
as far as i am aware the iphone still cant send or receive via bluetooth just like the g1
i dont think it was introduced in the new firmware upgrade
try it with someone who uses a real phone, not a jumped-up mp3 player
i can pair with my computer but not connect unless its for file transfer
the g1 and iphone only really connect to handsfree kits etc...
try sending something to your computer or something like that, it should work
also, double check that you have server enabled
once you have sent or received from one device, you can set it to automatically accept from that device on all occasions
Bluex>Options>Remote devices options>*device*>automatically accept files
i've been able to send and recieve files from my other phones sony erricson's and random other phones on the bus etc
Root has nothing to do with sending and receiving bluetooth. the only reason you need root on android is because the profile(obex) needed to exchange files is not "built-in" to android. In order to support this profile, the developer probably programmed his app to change read-only files, and that would be why the g1 requires root for obex. phones that ACTUALLY support obex don't require root/superuser/administrative privledges. So in other words, you don't need root for obex unless you're using android.
You guys shouldnt be openly discussing pirating applications. Thats not nice, and you are posting on a DEVELOPER forum. What's wrong with you guys?

Warning offered.
my apologies

im well aware that phones that already support OBEX dont require root. i hadnt heard of the samsung he was talking about and thought it may have been a soon-to-be android phone...it was released under a different name here and i had interpreted the question as being that the phone ran (or was going to run) android. a simple mistake anyone could make when google is acting up (probably more the ISP than google but you get the point)
as for openly discussing pirated apps, i dont see a problem with it personally as i do things on a try-before-you-buy basis....i know it was stupid posting the links and i apologized for that and the links were removed

This is NOT for those on 2.1 leak. It is ONLY for those on 1.5 Stock or 2.1 OTA OS version.
This is a Windows Only version. We are porting it to JAVA now for cross platform compatibility.
Major update - Re Uploaded the App
We have brought back the Eris Master App as the Android Master App. It has a new name in preparation for support for more Android devices. We are working on fixing the XP bug where files wont download. Until we get a full fix working, DO NOT USE IF YOUR ON WINDOWS XP Stay tuned for updates. We have also included an Error Log handling feature. If there are any errors, it will try to automatically send us an email with the log file. If it cannot send us the email, the log file will pop up for you so you can get in contact with us and send us the log so we can fix the issue.
Again, if you are on Windows XP, DO NOT USE. We have been getting a lot of email logs from those on XP, and we know its not working, so dont bother wasting your time trying to see if it works.
Download the application from here: http://tinyurl.com/2doknnb then run the self extracting .exe zip file, and let it extract to its default location, which is c:\AMA\ then go into the folder there and run the application. Select a ROM to download, and the Root Image, and Recovery Image, then start the downloads.
If you need any support, it is always available on the IRC server.
You can also follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/THE_ECLIPS3
Check the thread and the IRC server for updates.
ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle
- Fixed files not downloading in windows XP a little bit more, full fix in works
- Fixes a few minor bug fixes
- Streamlined the code more
This App is being worked on by ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle
We are now on Google Code. Please visit the page here to let us know of any bugs / errors you get while using the app. It is not meant to help you solve your problem there. That is what this thread or our IRC server is for. The IRC server login info is at the bottom of my signature. A web based IRC server is available through this link.
On step 2, when you get to the part of doing the update. our app will tell you to push volume up to start update. you might also have to push the trackball in as well. the link will say <action> YES. push trackball in to start update.
- Market updates for apps. (coming soon)
We have figured out how to restore apps, and restore market update links, need to roll it into the app, but it is possible. We might even have a way to restore links for those non root. Any other app that does market update links requires root first to backup the links.
UPDATE 5/5/2010
Version 2.1 (released 5/5/2010)
Files are now hosted on http://android.grdlock.net
-Fixed where app wont upload custom rom to phone
-New download links for files
-Ability to download roms via app, instead of including them
-Choose what rom to install easier
-Download of ROOT Image instead of including it
-Progress bar for downloads
-Splash Image install
-Cleaned up a lot of the code
-Many bug fixes
-Made user interaction a lot more friendly
-Fix device not found in app.
-Check if phone is connected to PC. If not, setup will not continue.
-Fixed spelling issue.
We have now finished the core of the Application. What it consists of is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) to make going from 1.5 stock to 2.1 root with a custom ROM installed. There is also an easy way to reboot your phone, enter the recovery mode, and enter the bootloader mode. Finally the third part available in this release is a way to backup all of your applications along with restoring all of them. Currently this is root only. We do have an update coming to backup apps for non root.
For rooting there is a 4 step process. Just go through the steps, one at a time and make sure you read and pay attention to the instructions.
We will be adding more functionality and options to this application. Stay tuned for future updates. If there is an update, just re download the whole app.
Please let us know of any bugs or options you would like to see in the application and we will do what we can to add those in or fix those bugs.
Prereq's for using the application:
You must have Microsoft .NET version 4. Direct Download Link
Then also download the drivers file. Unzip it to your desktop. Follow these instructions on how to install a driver. Select have disc, then navigate to your desktop, inside the corresponding folder, and continue the prompts.
Requests
- Support for other android phones.
- Save Layout and Scenes. (Working on now)
- backup apps for those NOT ROOTED (Have it working. need to roll it into an update)
- Restore email settings for Gmail and HTC Mail (Working on now)
- Download speed for file downloads
- Boot andimations (new name for animations)
- Progress bar for copying files to sdcard
So i tried this out and it works great. It is a really nice addition to the anyones android tool set.
I did notice that once i reinstalled all apps it did take quite a long time to load all of them again... 5 minutes. That was ok though because it saved me alot more time from having to download and install all of them again. I did i reboot too just to make sure.
Thanks a lot for this script!
note: put the scripts in your sdk\tools section on your computer.

Thanks for your feedback. I am working on creating a standalone application for backing up the apps, reinstalling, rebooting, rebooting into bootloader and recovery. It will also be able to install the bootanimation files amongst other things. hopefully i will be able to have it do the rooting process as well. though im not sure how often that will be used considering most have already rooted their phones. if some people would like to vote on those options and let me know what they want as well as requests for other features that would be great.
bootanimation is good and boot image logo like in here, maybe?

Thats not necessarily true, because 'all people' aren't trolling the internet like we are all the time.
So im sure there are people that dont even know we have root access on the eris. I bet there are also a ton of people that dont know what root is and even how to go about it, so an automated system would be a great addition.
Most of the world is not technology oriented. Think of (most)Best Buy shoppers.. hahah (i used to sell computers there) They look for someone to 'deal' with the tech for them.
i may just be a ritard but i plug my phone in to computer with debugged mode on, i have the skd driver thing updated and my sd card is mounted and it says error device not found any idea wat im doing wrong like i said im a ritard lol thanks guys yall do amazing work keep it up!!!!!!

dont mount your sd just leave it ur phone on charge. And follow the instructions that are mentioned in the script before you start it.
I the core of the app done which is going from stock 1.5 to 2.1 root, with recovery image and new rom installing. i have a few people beta testing it for me. once i make sure it is stable for the XDA community i will release that with periodic update of new features.

the rom you ported, its a hero rom? thats probably why because i have found that roms that have been ported from other devices have issues with my scripts, which is because of how the rom and its core are built. will try and add that functionality at some point.
for everyone else. these scripts only are verified to work on eris based roms and legend based roms.
Great job! saves so much time and work!
UPDATE: Application is now released. please view first post for more info.
Nice work!

ECLIPS3,
Ok....Well my Eris now has the latest 2.1 ROM and when I ran the program it told me that the ROM installed is older that the one being installed. So if I replace the newer rom in the upload/root folder should I be ok?

Re: [Application] Eris Master Application
Are you on 2.1 leak, 1.5, or 2.1 root? This only works on 2.1. The file in the root folder is the 2.1 root image. In rom folder is custom roms to install. An update will be released today.

Ok..sorry Sir!
Hey guys!
I'm currently into scripts so I thought about creating something new. But I didn't know what...
But a friend was just looking for something to automatically synchronize all apps on the phone with the PC (copy them to PC and back to phone when needed).
So I decided to create something for him and share it with this great community.
Currently it's a really early version. The only option is currently to copy the apps and their data to PC. Nothing more.
Feedback is always welcome.
Note: I've made this for Linux, it may work for Mac also.
I won't make a Windows version! Don't ask for it!
How it works:
It will use adb to pull all apps and their data to PC.
You'll be asked for a folder to save to only once, it'll be saved in a config file.
It will wait for your device to connect and then start syncing.
When it's finished it'll tell you where everything have been saved.
Requirements:
-USB-Debugging on
-Enough free space on PC
-adb in the $PATH-variable (don't ask how to, use Google)
WIP:
-Music, image and video syncing with PC
-Restore saved apps from PC to phone with the script
-Some speed improvements (cause it runs really slow)
-Get a nice UI (last thing to do! Don't ask for it now!)
Download:
http://depositfiles.com/files/z26tkazxm
Source code:
http://pastebin.com/DWWVJat5
Tips:
To get it really automated put it in your Window Manager autostart folder.
How to do this: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Autostart_Programs
When script asks you for the path to save, don't use the format ~/something - this won't work.
Use /home/you/something instead.
Don't put a / at the end of the path.
I'll correct this in future versions.
Use option -h to get the help with all commands viewed.
Enjoy it and give me feedback!

It's because I don't know how do batch code and the windows version would get updates later.
You can try to recode it for windows if you give me credits.
I got an idea. Gimme till tomorrow...
Hey dudes!
I think we can get the script working on Windows with Cygwin, but I don't know (yet) how to autostart scripts in the Cygwin environment.
So it would be good to have someone to test it with Cygwin.
BTW: restore function should work know. Will do some testing today and if everything is right I'll release an update.

Backup TA for Sony Xperia™ (Mac OS X version)
With this app you can backup and restore the TA partition of your device.
This can be useful, for example, when you want to unlock your bootloader and not lose your DRM keys and most importantly, your warranty. Before unlocking your bootloader, backup your TA with this app and you will be able to restore it to a factory state (locked bootloader, DRM keys intact, etc).
The app is based on TA Backup v9.10 by DevShaft (thanks !), which can be found here.

I have granted SU permission to shell, so it won't prompt anyway.

Yeah, the app will appear to hang but it actually waits for adb to work it's magic.
Is there any chance you could send me a copy of the system log ?
To do so, open the Console app, enter "Backup TA" in the search field in the top right corner (to filter the logs) and make sure that "All Messages" is selected in the Log list (sidebar) on the left side of the window. At this point there should be lots of messages from Backup TA shown. You can now go to File -> Save a copy as... and send that file to me so I can look at what went wrong.
Thanks :fingers-crossed: !

Try selecting system.log in the sidebar and then search for Backup TA, it should work.
Anyway, I'll implement a better way to get logs from the app soon

Checking the timestamp, maybe you should add a message to ask the user to wait for at least a minute to prevent nervous users like me from closing it too early.

Thanks, mate. I think it worked. Just one question: is it normal that a 2MB TA partition gets zipped into few KB? Something like 77KB. Are those sizes (for both TA partition and zip file) normal?
Hi guys,
I created this tool so you can backup the partitions for the Sprint Galaxy S5.
This is IMPORTANT because the tools available at the moment don't backup your data properly. Trust me you don't want to corrupt your modem and then don't have a backup to restore it as they are easily corrupted when you play with network locks.

What format does this backup to and how to restore?
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
This backup to bin format.This means it's a copy of the bytes of the partitions in your phone. I did not create a restore function yet but can be added on the next version as well as support to more devices.
Only G900P ?
Yes at the moment this is the only supported phone.

Is this an automated dd process? I looked at it quickly and it appears that it is. Just curious.

And where does it store said backups? I clicked on the backup button before i had even connected the phone and it said it backed up everything, then after connecting the phone, it did the same exact thing, yet no files found anywhere.
Thanks!

This tool is an quick tool that I created that is an automated process that uses adb to connect to the phone and create a backup and save them to the PC. This is because the available tools did not backup the correct information or are partial backups that are useless. I didn't add a verification for to see if the phone is connected but can be added later on. The files are stored in the same folder as the exe.
Requirements: Usb Debugging enabled only.

Well thats odd because i have USB Debugging enabled and i dont find any files other than the ones i un-rar'd to the folder. I'll try again in the morning when im not half asleep. Thanks for the reply!

Still same results, i see commands being processed by the phone but they're all remove commands for the BIN's its supposed to have created, from the sdcard partition. Yet i still dont find these files in the STool folder or anywhere on my phone. That and it seems to backup/dump everything so quickly its hard to believe its writing to anything unless these partitions are SUPER small. Wonder if i need to flash back to a stock rom and try from there since i recently flashed over to RDDT fo play with the WiFi calling feature. I'll flash back to stock and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks again for your work on this!
Hey
Same thing on my side, I read it but cant seem to find the file and Im on stock....???
I guys sorry for the confusion it appears that any way this is not the way to backup the data specially for the modem.
Samsung really lock this thing down and encrypted the partitions for nv ram and isolated them through hardware encrypted communicators.
i have found how to access those files i will let you know as soon as it is ready.
